Wildwood RV Park & Campground offers 135 sites for both tent and RV campers with pets. All pet-friendly campgrounds near Lindstrom maintain clean facilities with specific pet areas. Wildwood provides primitive tent sites located down a dirt road away from the main RV camping area in wooded settings, though neighboring sites remain visible. Families particularly appreciate the spacious campsites with individual picnic tables and fire pits. Interstate State Park, situated along the St. Croix River, welcomes pets at its 37 campsites with riverfront access at select locations. Local campgrounds are searchable through The Dyrt's listings.

The St. Croix River provides excellent recreation opportunities for campers with pets. Many sites offer direct river access where dogs can cool off during summer months. Hiking trails throughout these parks allow leashed pets, with the River Trail at Interstate State Park stretching 1.1 miles with approximately four scenic overlooks. Site selection matters significantly when camping with dogs - riverfront sites like #21 at Interstate State Park feature small beach areas perfect for launching kayaks or allowing dogs water access. Campgrounds remain remarkably quiet even when full, creating a peaceful environment for pets who might be sensitive to noise. During festival weekends like Taylor Falls Wannigan Festival, expect increased visitor traffic and plan accordingly when bringing pets.

GuideI never tire walking the dog park circle along the crow river! Great for birding and tons of beautiful trails!
GuideThis is a nice city campground with lovely views of the Rum River. There is a nice playground with a small climbing wall, benches to sit looking over the river. Picnic tables and a shelter are great for eating at. There is a dog park just across the river, within easy walking distance.
LegendThis is a state park on the Wisconsin side of the St Croix River, which is mirrored by a comparable but smaller state park in Minnesota on the wrst side of the river, both being part of the wild and scenic St Croix National Waterway. Although the campsites themselves are pretty run of the mill, the setting is spectacular in terms of breathtaking scenery, and myriad outdoor activities from rock climbing in the river gorge, paddling the river, hiking miles of trails, and learning geology at the Ice Age geology visitors center. If you are tenting camping, the south loop is great, and if you pick campsite 65 or 67 you will have direct access to the river which is peaceful and good for paddle opportunities. There are picnic areas with swimming along the river which is nice for group gatherings, and one is designated for folks with pets. Some of the rugged hiking trails along the bluffs and cliffs go right along the edge with minimal guard rails or walls, so keep a close eye on kids and pets because going over the edge is a possibility so utmost caution is advised.
TravelerStaying here currently & they have been very accommodating, friendly & flexible. Water & electric hookup but no sewer however there is a dump station, a bathhouse with real toilets & nice showers. Pretty quiet for being so close to the main highway. My cats are able to free roam the property & my dog can be tied up outside. Usually pretty nice neighbors too.
GuideSites are close to each other, but easy access, clean grounds and facilities, friendly staff, and a K9 fenced area for a pet friendly campground.
ScoutWe called for an RV site but they don't allow pets.
GuideBeautiful, spacious, trees but open. Nice trails, clean restrooms, level sites. No alcohol allowed and no pets! Fire rings, sturdy picnic table. Electric and water.
I made reservations online and when we arrived they said I had reserved a place at Elmo Lake which was 20 miles away. Same 2 county facilities but different campgrounds. Oops my bad. Different addresses!
TravelerWe just found this campground in September and this year we've been there 3 times and we live in Montana, there's no place I'd rather stay. It has nice clean bathrooms and it's a great place to walk your pets, they do have 3 different areas to camp but we always use the full hook-ups
The people at check-in are always so friendly, and very helpful.
lots of things in the area to do, and the "city" isn't that far to drive to.
Interstate State Park, situated along the St. Croix River, offers 37 campsites with options for tent and RV camping. The park features glacial potholes, unique geological formations created when the river ran 200 feet higher than today. Campsites in the exterior loop provide direct river access, making it convenient for visitors to enjoy water activities while staying overnight.
Explore glacial potholes: Interstate State Park contains remarkable geological features where "tornados of water eroded smooth round, massive holes in the rock. Some are so big that they still to this day have no idea how deep they go" (Erik R., Interstate State Park). The potholes are accessible via quick hiking trails through a maze of small paths.
Kayak the St. Croix River: Wild River State Park provides excellent river access for paddlers. "Watching the sun rise over the river and fog roll over the water and evaporate while eagles soared was truly magical" (Sarah D., Wild River State Park Campground). Several campsites offer canoe landings for easy water entry.
Hike diverse trail systems: William O'Brien State Park features multiple trail options showcasing various landscapes. "There are miles of walking and hiking trails throughout the park. The surroundings were stunning, and really unexpected for a park so close to the Twin Cities" (Jason S.). The trails connect to river views and pass through wooded areas.
Private, wooded sites: Wild River State Park offers secluded camping spots. "The campground was very nice. The sites are private, couldn't see any neighbors as there are a lot of trees. The facilities were nice and well kept" (Stephanie H.). Most sites have sufficient tree cover to create natural barriers between neighbors.
River access from select sites: At Interstate Park Wisconsin, "sites 65 and 67 had direct access to the river. The path provides a perfect launch point for kayaks onto the St Croix" (Beth D., Interstate Park Wisconsin). These riverside sites are popular and should be reserved well in advance.
Stargazing opportunities: Wild River State Park includes designated areas for night sky viewing. "The star gazing area was great" (Katherine T.). Clear nights away from city light pollution provide excellent conditions for astronomical observation, especially during summer months.
Campsite sizes vary significantly: At William O'Brien State Park, "compared to Wild River State Park, the sites at Savannah are pretty cramped with inconsistent vegetation between sites" (Dani K.). Research specific site dimensions before booking, especially for larger camping setups.
Tent pad conditions: Some campsites at Interstate State Park have challenging tent pad areas. "ONLY caveat is there wasn't a good spot to hang my hammock at my site, so make sure if you are hammocking to choose a site with tree coverage" (Celina M.).
Highway noise at some locations: Willow River State Park experiences some road sounds. "Highway noise was noticeable in the evenings" (Maria D., Willow River State Park Campground). Sites located further from main roads generally provide a quieter experience.
Primitive tent sites for seclusion: Wildwood RV Park & Campground offers remote tent camping options. "These primitive sites are down a small dirt road away from the main RV camping area and are nicely wooded, but you can still see neighboring sites" (Stacy S., Wildwood RV Park & Campground). These sites balance privacy with safety for family camping.
Water recreation options: Multiple area parks provide family-friendly water activities. "We went canoeing and kayaking and they provided a shuttle right from their main office. The paddlewheel boat ride on the St Croix River was amazing. We even saw bald eagles on the ride" (Amy F.).
Wildlife viewing opportunities: Many campgrounds in the area feature abundant wildlife. "We saw sooooo many deer some even walking right through campsites! You can hear coyotes, raccoons and very loud owls" (Kate H.). Morning and evening hours typically offer the best wildlife sighting opportunities.
Site leveling challenges: Several campgrounds require additional equipment for RV leveling. At Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park, "sites are level" (Mackenzie G., Rice Creek Chain of Lakes Regional Park), which makes setup easier than parks with uneven terrain.
Limited full hookup options: Most campgrounds near Lindstrom offer partial hookups only. "No full hookups but there is a fantastic group site and the individual sites are spacious" (Nate M.). Plan water usage accordingly and utilize dump stations available at most parks.
Road conditions vary: Some campgrounds have challenging access roads. At Camp Waub-O-Jeeg, "The road to the sites named after birds was rough and I was nervous that I would bottom out going up the hill" (Krista T.). Approach with caution when driving larger rigs.
